This was one of those "race" movies I just stumbled into on Prime Video. It's about a loud-mouthed con man who gets himself to become a deacon of a church which leads him to bigger things. I'll just stop there and just say that while the soundtrack was quite ragged considering its age, I did see some of the charisma of A. B. DeComathiere that seemed to contribute to why the people on the screen seemed to follow his every word of whom among those people would be including was leading lady Vivienne Baber whose character is torn between him and her morally good (and good-looking) other boyfriend Lorenzo Tucker who plays an attorney who's the opposite of DeComathiere. In summary, The Black King was pretty entertaining if not always easy to understand because of the not-always-clear soundtrack.
